Indeed. And consider how long each winch cycle would take. 2 pax at a time. 20 (?) pax a load. I don't think that helicopters are the answer to a major disaster at sea unless you can land a Chinook on deck. The primary means of rescue has to be by sea, with helicopters to pick up the badly injured.
